ENTRE NÓS E ELES: O ENQUADRAMENTO DO G1 SOBRE A MORTE YANOMAMI
The Urihi Yanomami Association used photographic records to bring attention to the malnourished condition of the yanomami indigenous people in the Surucucu region of western Roraima. In January 2023, a photograph of a deceased indigenous woman, severely malnourished, was featured on the G1 news portal. During the same period, the yanomami association requested that the photograph be removed from the media. The paper’s central question is whether reporting the death of the indigenous woman, G1, in a mediatized context distances itself from the way the yanomami think about death in order to make the event intelligible in our culture. The guiding question is what frames of meaning the newspaper uses to translate the indigenous woman’s death into our culture. As a basis, this text draws on the concepts of happening (Quéré, 2005, 2012), framing (Goffman, 2012), culture with Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (2014), and the perspective of pragmatist philosophy. The framing given to the death of the indigenous woman was identified as being focused on the ‘public health’ frame. This was evident from the external links that the newspaper produced around the death. The article establishes a temporal framework that is not part of yanomami culture, making death a concept that does not align with indigenous cosmology. The conclusion drawn from the findings is that the framing of the indigenous woman’s death serves the purpose of making it understandable to non-indigenous readers.Urihi Associação Yanomami valendo-se de registros fotográficos deu visibilidade à condição de subalimentação dos indÃgenas yanomami da região do Surucucu, no oeste de Roraima. Em janeiro de 2023, uma fotografia de uma indÃgena morta ganhou visibilidade no portal de notÃcias G1, tratando-se do retrato de uma indÃgena em estado grave de desnutrição. No mesmo perÃodo, a associação yanomami solicitou o apagamento da fotografia dos veÃculos de comunicação. A questão central do presente trabalho: ao comunicar a morte da indÃgena, o G1, inserido em nosso contexto midiatizado, provoca um afastamento do modo como os yanomami pensam a morte para dar inteligibilidade a esse acontecimento em nossa cultura. Nossa pergunta condutora: quais os quadros de sentidos usados pelo jornal para traduzir a morte da indÃgena para nossa cultura? Como fundamentos, fazemos uso dos conceitos de acontecimento (Quéré, 2005, 2012), da noção de enquadramento (Goffman, 2012), de framming e frames (Gradim, 2021); da noção de cultura com Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (2014) e da perspectiva da filosofia pragmatista. Identificamos que o enquadramento dado ao acontecimento morte da indÃgena focou no quadro ‘saúde pública’. Isso ficou evidente pelas ligações exteriores que o jornal produz entorno da morte. Instaurando uma temporalidade estranha aos olhos da cultura yanomami, conduzindo a morte a uma problemática que escapa a cosmologia dos indÃgenas. Entre os achados, concluÃmos que o enquadramento dado a morte da indÃgena tem a função de tornar tal morte compreensÃvel para nossa cultura e dessa forma tornando o acontecimento inteligÃvel para o leitor do jornal

Managing the Technology for Selectively Collecting Solid Waste in the Western Amazon Sub Region
This study's main objective is to study the complexity of technological management of the collection of solid waste, through the prism of reverse logistics; and to propose certain specific objectives: (1) to describe the form of concentration of solid waste in the group studied; (2) to analyze the impact of the volume of solid waste; and (3) to propose intervention measures for solid waste management. It asks what technology management model should guide the selective collection of solid waste in the Amazon. Based on the theory of convergence, it studies the strategy of competitive advantage in understanding the organizational system in the environment in which it operates; on this theory, Nobre (2011) addresses knowledge as a source that transmits competitive edge in order to contribute to a company's organizational system. The research is qualitative and descriptive; it applies the Case Study method, and related procedures. As a study, it confirms that the investigated collector cooperatives are vulnerable, which influences the conclusions of this study. It finds that the collectors employed by these organizations are the significant environmental agents in the process of reusing and recycling materials and thus play a key role in reverse logistics because they can return the waste to the production chain adding value and promoting shared management,. The results also point to the absence of a system to promote environmental education, despite the potential viability of the materials and regardless of the possible economic and social improvements to the Amazonians and their families. The system proposed here involves the selective collection of solid waste by intelligent machines, applying reverse logistics. This study could benefit business people, the government and other stakeholders in public policy and sustainability in fragile environments such as the Brazilian Amazon.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Capillariaisis (Trichurida, Trichinellidae, Capillaria hepatica) in the Brazilian Amazon: low pathogenicity, low infectivity and a novel mode of transmission
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Human capillariasis caused by <it>Capillaria hepatica (syn. Calodium hepaticum) </it>is a rare disease with no more than 40 cases registered around the world. Classically, the disease has severe symptoms that mimic acute hepatitis. Natural reservoirs of <it>C. hepatica </it>are urban rodents (<it>Mus musculus </it>and <it>Rattus novergicus</it>) that harbor their eggs in the liver. After examining the feces of 6 riverine inhabitants (Rio Preto area, 8° 03'S and 62° 53' W to 8° 14'S and 62° 52'W) of the State of Rondonia, Brazil, and identifying <it>C. hepatica </it>eggs in their feces, the authors decided to investigate the real dimension of these findings by looking for two positive signals.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Between June 1<sup>st </sup>and 15<sup>th</sup>, 2008, 246 out of 304 individuals were clinically examined. Blood samples were collected, kept under -20°C, and test by the indirect immunofluorescence technique.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The first positive signal was the presence of specific antibodies at 1:150 dilution, which indicates that the person is likely to have been exposed to eggs, most likely non-infective eggs, passing through the food chain or via contaminated food (total prevalence of 34.1%). A second more specific signal was the presence of antibodies at higher titers, thus indicating true infection.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>The authors concluded that only two subjects were really infected (prevalence of 0.81%); the rest was false-positives that were sensitized after consuming non-embryonated eggs. The present study is the first one carried out in a native Amazonian population and indicates the presence of antibodies against <it>C. hepatica </it>in this population. The results further suggest that the transmission of the parasite occurs by the ingestion of embryonated eggs from human feces and/or carcasses of wild animals. The authors propose a novel mode of transmission, describing the disease as a low pathogenic one, and showing low infectivity.</p
Effect of training loads on physiological parameters of soccer players
O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar os efeitos de três semanas de treinamentos com intensidades monitoradas sobre a capacidade aeróbia de futebolistas profissionais. Quatorze futebolistas integrantes de equipe da primeira divisão do Campeonato Brasileiro de 2010, foram avaliados pré e pós três semanas de treinamento. O limiar anaeróbio (LAn) foi determinado pelo método bi-segmentado, para isso quatro esforços submáximos de 800 metros com intensidades de 10, 12, 14 e 16 km/h foram aplicados. Trinta três sessões de treinamentos foram quantificadas em zonas de acordo com frequência cardÃaca referente ao LAn (FCLAn): Z1 – 10% abaixo, Z2 – 90-100% e Z3 – acima da FCLAn. Durante os treinamentos os jogadores permaneceram 31,17±14,86%, 42,96±14,90% e 25,87±16,67% em Z1, Z2 e Z3, respectivamente. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas no LAn (pré = 13,29 ± 0,71 km∙h-1 ; pós=12,85 ± 0,90 km∙h-1 ), percepção subjetiva de esforço correspondente ao LAn (pré = 11,53 ± 1,45 u.a; pós=11,23 ± 1,53 u.a) e FCLAn (pré = 166,64 ± 10,69 bpm; pós = 174,50 ± 10,89 bpm), indicando que três semanas de treinamento são insuficiente para gerar adaptações positivas no LAn de futebolistas.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of three weeks of training with intensity monitored on the aerobic capacity of professional soccer players. Fourteen players, members of a first division Brazilian Championship team in 2010, aged 22.78 ± 3.06 years were evaluated pre and post three weeks of training. The anaerobic threshold intensity LAn was determined by bi-segmented method, for this four submaximal efforts of 800 meters with intensities 10, 12, 14 and 16 km/h were applied. Thirty three training sessions were quantified in zones according to heart rate related to the LAn (FCLAn): Z1 – 10% below, Z2 – 90-100% and Z3 – above the FCLAn. During training participants remained 31.17 ± 14.86%, 42.96% and 25.87 ± 14.90 ± 16.67% in Z1, Z2, and Z3 respectively. There were no significant differences in the LAn (pre = 13,29 ± 0,71 km∙h-1 ; post = 12,85 ± 0,90 km∙h-1 ), perceived exertion (pre = 11,53 ± 1,45 u.a; post = 11,23 ± 1,53 u.a) and FCLAn (pre = 166,64 ± 10,69 bpm; post = 174,50 ± 10,89 bpm) between conditions before and after training, indicating that three weeks of training are insufficient to generate positive changes in soccer players LAn
O processo de trabalho do enfermeiro gerontólogo: uma revisão integrativa de literatura
The aim was to analyze the national and international scientific production on the work process of gerontologist nurses. This is an exploratory and descriptive study, based on an integrative literature review, where the six steps inherent to this method were applied. The data survey was carried out in May 2021 in the Scientific Electronic Library Online library and in the databases of Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences and Nursing Data Library in the Virtual Health Library from the association of descriptors. The search found 13 articles selected for this review. It was evidenced that there is a deficit of nurses specialized in gerontology, which weakens the work of nurses and the quality of care for the elderly and their families. Therefore, nurses need to be trained in safe health practices in elderly care, as the peculiarities inherent to aging cannot be discarded in the care process.Objetivou-se analisar a produção cientÃfica nacional e internacional sobre o processo de trabalho do enfermeiro gerontólogo.

Sydney Melancholia Prototype Index (SMPI) : translation and cross-cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese
Introduction: Depression is possibly not a single syndrome but rather comprises several subtypes. DSM-5 proposes a melancholia specifier with phenotypic characteristics that could be associated with clinical progression, biological markers or therapeutic response. The Sydney Melancholia Prototype Index (SMPI) is a prototypic scale aimed to improve the diagnosis of melancholia. So far, there is only an English version of the instrument available. The aim of this study is to describe the translation and adaptation of the English version of the SMPI into Brazilian Portuguese. Methods: Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the self-report (SMPI-SR) and clinician-rated (SMPICR) versions into Brazilian Portuguese were done following recommendations of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR). This guideline includes the following steps: preparation, forward translation, reconciliation, back translation, back translation review, harmonization, cognitive debriefing, debriefing results review, proofreading and final report. Results: The Brazilian Portuguese versions of the SMPI were well-accepted by respondents. Changes in about two-thirds of the items were considered necessary to obtain the final Brazilian Portuguese version of the SMPI. Conclusions: Both versions of the SMPI are now available in Brazilian Portuguese. The instrument could become an important option to enhance studies on melancholia in Portuguese-speaking samples
First-time administration of the Sydney Melancholia Prototype Index (SMPI) to non-English-speaking patients : a study from Brazil
Objective: The Sydney Melancholia Prototype Index (SMPI) is a scale that uses a non-conventional strategy to assess melancholia status based on prototypic symptoms and illness course variables. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the first translation of this instrument in a non-Englishspeaking population. Methods: A sample comprising 106 Brazilian outpatients with depression was evaluated simultaneously with the Brazilian version of the self-rated SMPI (SMPI-SR) and clinician-rated SMPI (SMPICR). The kappa coefficient and t test were used to evaluate concurrent validity vs. DSM-IV, CORE system, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-6 item (HAM-D6), and HAM-D17 assignments to a melancholic or non-melancholic class. The prevalence of melancholia as well as sensitivity and specificity were calculated across instruments. Results: The prevalence of melancholia was highest using DSM-IV criteria (56.6%). The kappa agreement between SMPI-CR and DSM-IV melancholia assignment was moderate (kappa 0.44, p <= 0.001). SMPI-CR-assigned melancholic patients had significantly higher CORE, HAM-D17, and HAM-D6 scores. The test-retest consistency values for the SMPI were modest at best, and somewhat superior for the CR version. Conclusion: The Brazilian SMPI-CR presented satisfactory psychometric properties (which were superior to those of the SMPI-SR), and therefore appears to be a useful option for identifying melancholia and studying its causes and optimal treatments
